The first workaround explains how to circumvent the self-registration option without disabling it (currently JoomlaLMS doesn’t allow turning the self-registration option off without customizing the code).

Who needs this anyway?

Let’s say you want the course to be free and public, but no one but the company’s employees or the users from a certain list could enter the course.

The workaround is to limit the course participants to one and enable the waiting list plugin. When the maximum number of users in the course is reached no one will be able to enroll in the course.

Let’s start at the beginning!

Step 1. Limit the course participants

Enter the course you where you want to limit the number of participants – Click “Edit the course” – Enter the second step at the course builder – Type “1” as the maximum number of users – Click “Save”.
